Shell gives update

Braydon Moretti releases a fish fry into the Kitimat River, via a long plastic tube set up near the Rod and Gun Club on Father’s Day. The Rod and Gun Club hall hosted some family events and information stations, coinciding with Family Fishing Weekend from June 14 to 16. The weekend is established by the Family Fishing Society of B.C., and it’s aim is to encourage new, especially young people, to fish. Cameron Orr

The Shell Canada led LNG export proposal for Kitimat is expected to start sending out its first LNG probably in 2019, given the timelines shared with councillors on June 17. Shell Canada’s Rob Seeley presented a company update at the regular council meeting, saying that assuming getting necessary approvals in 2014 through to 2015, and a final investment decision in 2015, construction would take four years before the facility became operational. Their facility, if it goes ahead, would be built on the former Methanex site which Shell purchased approximately two years ago. The project, which at its peak would have four, six-million tonne LNG trains, is being developed with South Korea’s KOGAS, PetroChina and Mitsubishi, all whom have a 20 per cent stake in the business. Seeley said that Shell has had business arrangements with all of these companies in the past but this is the first time that all four have worked together on a single proposal. Seeley said that many things are being worked on behind the scenes, including arranging contracts with Rio Tinto Alcan to use the Eurocan wharf for two berths of the proposed LNG terminal. “We own the Methanex jetty however we’ve been in discus-

sion with [RTA] about the use of the Eurocan wharf,” he said. There’s more that LNG Canada is interested in with RTA. Seeley said they’d like to take over the work camp that RTA has already built, and continue using that for the LNG project. The construction phase will require about 5,500 total workers, but he said they’re not aiming to have a work camp to hold that amount of people. When asked by councillor Phil Germuth about plans for putting employees in permanent community housing, Seeley said it would be a choice for some, and especially people like project managers would likely live in the community, as they would be more permanent workers rather than those who would come in for a few months at a time. “Clearly we want to have people live in this community and be part of the economic opportunity and growth of the community,” said Seeley. Once the project shifts to the operational phase, Seeley said they’d need around 200 to 400 workers to keep things running. For the initial two trains of LNG, Seeley said they’d likely anticipate 170 tankers yearly in the Douglas Channel, up to 350 when all four are operational. Continued on page 6

Answers flow on potential water issues

Cameron Orr Despite not having the unanimous backing of council, Phil Germuth’s motion to ask Enbridge Northern Gateway a series of nine questions about impacts to Kitimat’s water supply was passed at last week’s meeting. Germuth said he was still waiting for answers following a similar motion made last year to have Enbridge answer questions relating to possible impacts to Kitimat’s water supply in the event of a spill from their proposed pipeline project. His nine questions covered issues such as “What measures will Enbridge take to prevent water disruption to the District of

Kitimat in the event of a spill?” and “What plan does Enbridge have to protect the Kitimat River Hatchery from the effects of a spill? A tabling motion by Edwin Empinado was made in order for staff to come back with the information that is already available on these questions, but he received no seconder for the motion. However Mario Feldhoff and Mary Murphy both voted against the motion. Feldhoff said these questions are already posed to the company and that information has been flowing through the Joint Review Panel process. Murphy also said that these questions

had already been answered. In fact, Mayor Joanne Monaghan said at the meeting that the specific answers to these questions were in her possession, and had been delivered shortly before the meeting, so she couldn’t have them sent out ahead of time. But she promised to have the answers distributed the next day, which she did. In response to Feldhoff’s and Murphy’s opposition, he replied that the JRP is not the one building the pipeline, but Enbridge is, and at the time he had not seen any specific answers from the company regarding the concerns he had. The motion did receive enough votes to

pass and the District of Kitimat was still going to submit the questions to the company, even if the answers were already available. Without posting word-for-word the answer to each question provided by the company — due to space limitations — the company does say in it’s answers that they “would work with the District of Kitimat to develop the Emergency Response Plan.” Such a plan would include actions for the community’s water in-take. Michele Perret, manager for Enbridge’s community relations, told the Sentinel that the plan would be developed after a regulatory approval for the project. Continued on page 6

Migration More people continue to move from B.C. to other provinces than migrate west, according to the latest Statistics Canada estimates. Quarterly Statistics Canada figures show a net loss of 1,611 people from B.C. to other provinces from January to March this year. That is the seventh straight quarter of net out-migration from B.C., with the last net increase of 73 people recorded in the April-June quarter of 2011. In 2012, while B.C. was a net loser of about 7,000 in interprovincial movements, Alberta gained about 43,000 and Saskatchewan gained about 2,500 people. NDP leader Adrian Dix said last Wednesday the latest totals mean B.C. has lost a net 12,000 people to other provinces since Premier Christy Clark took over. Dix said the number of private sector jobs has declined since Clark launched her jobs plan, and her government continues to cut the budget for job skill training. Dix said the NDP government of the 1990s saw an increase of 129,000 people in interprovincial migration, and during Gordon Campbell’s term, there was a net increase of 64,000.

Backing off Premier Christy Clark has rolled back salary increases for political staff, after getting an earful from voters. Clark told reporters last Wednesday that salary increases for her chief of staff and new positions with the same title in ministers’ offices will not go ahead. “I am rescinding those changes, because leadership means listening to people,” Clark said.

Since they began it has been a constant stream of company lawyers, government representatives, active environmentalists and business groups. Enbridge’s lawyer Richard Neufeld was the first to speak on June 17, and countered many criticisms. Among them was a response to an argument by ForestEthics, which had insufficient showing of commercial support, in the words of Neufeld to the panel. “They never did explain to us why that’s important to them as an organization, how ForestEthics, whether the San Francisco office or the Vancouver office stands to be affected by the strength, or otherwise, of the commercial arrangements that underpin this project. Instead, it seems to be a case of an intervenor spotting what it considers to be a weakness in an application, and trying to exploit it,” he said. Meanwhile he continued to support Northern Gateway’s economic benefits. “Like Keystone XL, or for that matter, like LNG projects that are being proposed in British Columbia, it [Northern Gateway] ensures that Canadian producers get full market value for their production and that will benefit all Canadians,” he said. Of course it was not all in favour. Following Neufeld was Art Steritt with the Coastal First Na- Rachael Budnark at the anti-Enbridge rally in Terrace ahead of the start of the tions. “Coastal First Nations recommend that you Joint Review Panel final hearings on the dismiss their application and recommend that the Northern Gateway proposal.

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers’ Keith Bergner spoke the second day, supporting the pipeline application. “CAPP supports this application and it does so based on the clear and demonstrated need for the project,” he said. They later argue that there has been meaningful engagement with First Nations, something some groups had argued.

It is a question of, if FSAs leave a foundation of skills Despite covering the results of them for a few years now, I don’t think I’ve ever entirely understood the underlying conflicts regarding the Foundation Skills Assessment exam. That’s the exam that grade 4 and grade 7 students take, voluntarily, and which the Fraser Institute takes the results of and compiles them into a provincial ranking. From that people can at a glance see how their school compares to any other, and see how the school did in certain subjects, namely English and math. On the surface it’s hard to argue with the idea. A single, universal test, given to all students, to gauge how everyone is doing. However, in conversations over the last week, I heard a bit more about this process which sheds light on why it might not be such a great idea. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, it’s voluntary. Students don’t have to take this test and parents can opt them out. Grades for their records aren’t collected from this, so if parents would rather their kids focus on other areas, they can. That creates an immediate problem with the “sample size” for the test. Also, the FSA is, as I say, universal, and might include subject areas that a particular class just hadn’t yet gotten around to covering. So what should a teacher do in that place: cram the information from the FSA into kids’ heads, or just teach the course as planned? I guess all I can go by, not being a teacher myself, is the comments I heard while working in Smithers a few years back. Someone said that these Fraser Institute scores may help a school look at its year-over-year results, but using the numbers to compare schools against each other does absolutely no good. So take it for what you will. Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School was among the top improving schools over the past five years according to the Institute’s findings. Their overall rating out of 10 for 2012 is 5.7. In 2008 they were at 4.1. If you wanted you could compare to the rest of the District. Caledonia in Terrace is rated 4.5 out of 10, and Hazelton Secondary is at 2.8. Does that mean that Kitimat is the best school in the District? Well, who’s to say? For what it’s worth, Hazelton has a higher percentage of kids who speak English as a second language. It has a slightly higher rate of kids with special needs compared to us here. It might not be that they’re worse, they’re just dealing with more important things than an FSA. Cameron Orr

So when the PMO finally admitted they circulated copies of letters and documents regarding problems with one of Trudeau’s extra-curricular speeches in his very profitable public speaking career, all designed to bring public criticism down on the Liberal leader, one more example was added to the recent list of unfortunate and negatively viewed forays into public manipulation, I took notice. One of Rathgeber’s complaints was that the PMO staff is out of control and that experienced elected MPs are being ordered around by the youthful PMO staff and that certainly begets questions like the unanswered questions around Nigel Wright’s $90,000 gift (reportedly from personal resources) to help Senator Mike Duffy repay his ineligible Senate living expenses remain. Wright resigned without an acceptable explanation, adding his subsequent insistence the PM knew nothing about it. To me it showed that chain of command is rusted, if not broken. It demonstrates the unelected political element being paid by the public, have far too much power. Continued on page 5

A strong Northwest representation On Friday, June 7 premier Christy Clark announced the members of her new cabinet which set off the usual examination by the politically inclined as to whether she had given adequate representation to every corner of the province. The North did okay with Shirley Bond (Prince George) and John Rustad (Nechako Lakes) both getting the nod. The Northwest not so much - as in nary a one. Oh, but wait, that’s because the Northwest didn’t elect a single member of the governing party. So, the whining will go, once again our region is shut out of the corridors of power. I beg to differ. In fact we will have the strongest representation I can ever recall, as in Rich Coleman, Minister of Natural Gas Development and deputy premier to boot. His job, as explained by the premier, would be to “ensure British Columbia seizes the economic opportunity of a lifetime, liquefied natural gas (etc, etc).” In other words, his task is to ramrod the economic recovery of the Northwest, so he is our man in Victoria. And since Clark has placed all her eggs in the LNG basket, he will certainly

have her ear. But I don’t envy him his task. When Clark first got all excited about LNG, she pledged an operational LNG plant on the North Coast by 2015 and two more by 2020. It didn’t look like an overly ambitious target at the time, but it turned out the LNG world is a complicated one. It is now clear that the first target will be missed and I wouldn’t be betting on even the second being achievable, (Coleman must be grateful his job description doesn’t include any specific target dates.) So what’s the hold up with the promised boom? Price. Quite logically, if you are going to spend billions of dollars on an LNG plant/terminal and pipeline to feed it, you need to be sure you can recover your investment and make a profit. That means you need long term contracts - generally 20-25 years - and at a price that will achieve

Canada Day – Monday, July 1

Rusted Continued from page 4 More PMO discussions on expenses with Senator Pamela Wallin, reportedly also kept from Stephen Harper, and then the issuance of the leaked documents about Trudeau’s speech, show there continues to be a lot of political interference and manipulation in the inner-office operations, which the PM seems to find uninteresting, but for some reason, not objectionable. All of that said, I’m still personally in two minds about the appropriateness of a sitting MP picking up a quarter of a million dollars on the public speaking circuit when he is taking fullypaid absences from the House, where he is supposed to be working for the public and his constituency. His attendance record in the House leaves a lot to be desired. His assurances that his activities are cleared by the House ethics commissioner hold no comfort.

Heritage

The huddled mass outside of The Bay in this archive photo. Photo provided by the Kitimat Museum & Archives Several of Kitimat’s prominent buildings earn heritage designation, including the Kitimat Hotel, opened in 1955, the Hudson Bay/Trigo building built in 1956, the Century House, double bank building built in 1959, and the Federal Post Office building erected in 1961. The old Kildala Store is on the list. The Anderson Creek Golf Course Club House, originally at Kitimat’s first golf facility on part of the Anderson Farm, down by the Eurocan

causeway, was moved. It became a part of today’s Chalet Restaurant. Even the Nechako Centre (Shop-Easy portion), and the old strip mall in the service centre are on the list. Some sites, like the old concrete footings at Cable Car, remain a mystery. Was it actually part of the original mail route river crossing? This isn’t clear. Perhaps we will never know. Who would guess that even Kitimat, barely 60 years in exis-

tence, is already facing geriatric issues. Urban renewal can be just great. Eliminating buildings past their prime often seems inevitable, but should there be a sober second thought? Could some be renovated and saved for their heritage value? Kitimat will have to decide. In the meantime, residents keen on this issue are invited to contribute their views. Perhaps you know a site that may have been overlooked.

Water Continued from page 1 Among the other details of the plan shared are how the company would, in the event of a spill, “mitigate impacts to in-take, including shutting down the in-take for the time required.” The company also says they would provide alternate arrangements for water in the case of a spill, “and to compensate.” On the subject of liability, the company says it would hold $250 million worth of insurance, and “additional financial resources including cash flow of approximately $400 million annually,” however it was not immediately clear what is meant by that extra $400 million or how it would be accessed.

Based on past clean-up experiences in Canada, Northern Gateway felt that there was no need for an additional maintenance bond. As for the hatchery, Enbridge says they have included it as a protection site within their Preliminary Kitimat River Drainage Area Emergency Preparedness Report. Perret said that listing it as a protection site means they would work to isolate it if there was a spill in the water. The company also writes that they are researching “complementary leak detection technologies” for their pipelines, to coincide with their primary leak detection, which includes visual inspections and controller monitoring.

the provincial grid. LNG Canada has filed the project description with the B.C. environmental assessment office, officially starting the review process.

The company is looking into fibre optic cables that use temperature shifts to determine a spill, and acoustic wave-based technologies. The company says they haven’t planned on installing leak detection devices on the District of Kitimat’s water in-take, “but would be happy to work with the [DoK] to examine the potential need or use of these types of systems.” In light of council’s line of questioning, the Sentinel spoke in further detail with the director of pipeline control systems and leak detection with Enbridge, Barry Callele. A more detailed overview of Enbridge’s leak prevention and detection systems is written on page 7.

Seeley said that review will cover the site’s emissions, marine terminal, carbon footprints, social components and other issues. As well it will looke at the cu-

mulative effect of the project in light of other developments as well. The company already has a 20year export licence for 24 million tonnes a year.

Imperial Oil eyeing Kitimat or Rupert Cameron Orr Imperial Oil Canada and ExxonMobil Canada have filed with the National Energy Board an application for an export permit for a potential new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility. The jointly-owned entity, named WCC LNG — which stands for West Coast Canada — is for a possible terminal either in Kitimat or Prince Rupert. “Basically what that is, is an application for permission to potentially export up to 30 million tonnes a year of liquefied natural gas for a period of 25 years,” said Imperial Oil spokesperson Pius Rolheiser. But he emphasized that filing for this permit does not mean the companies are set to go ahead with any construction or even a decision on actually moving forward to build anything. “It will help us in our continuing engagement with First Nations, regulators, potential customers, potential pipe-

line companies,” he said. “We’re probably years away from a final investment decision.” He said so far the company is looking at sites both in Prince Rupert and Kitimat. Investigative permits were received for both communities last year. Rolheiser also said that the site in Prince Rupert being explored is called Grassy Point. The B.C. government asked for expressions of interest on the Grassy Point land earlier this year and Imperial Oil responded to that. Also from that call for expressions of interest, Australian energy giant Nexen was joined by the largest producer of oil and gas in China and a Japanese petroleum company, in a proposal. Australia’s largest independent oil and gas company, Woodside Petroleum Ltd., expressed their interest, as did SK E&S, a Korean-based gas and electricity company. He didn’t say which land was being

pursued in Kitimat. The application for 30 million tonnes of LNG export a year compares to the other largest LNG proposal for the Kitimat area, LNG Canada, which is the Shell Canada-led project. They already have an export application in place, theirs for 24 million tonnes a year. Imperial Oil with ExxonMobil’s possible proposal joins a wealth of other possible projects on the north coast. Kitimat LNG also has an export licence for 10 million tonnes a year. That’s a proposal from Apache Canada and Chevron Canada. Douglas Channel Energy, a co-op of various groups including the Haisla, also have a 20 year export licence. While preliminary work has been going on for many of these projects in the Kitimat area, final investment decisions on the proposals have not been made.

Free running dogs has been a long running issue for a reader Dear Sir, I was abhorred to learn that an individual would suggest that a dog be put down because it is allowed to roam free. (Sentinel, June 19, page 7.) Do not blame the dog. Blame the owner for not caring about by-laws that were created to ensure a peaceful and respectful neighbourhood. This issue, dogs allowed to run at large, has been a sore point for me for years in Kitimat (nowhere else). I have complained repeatedly to the by-law office about dogs at large, messing on my property (I get down on my hands and knees in my yard to garden), barking incessantly around the clock, and running into traffic (stories of free running dogs

maimed and killed in Kitimat are not uncommon; how mortified would that make a dog loving driver, and how dangerous for someone on a motorcycle?) Mailboxes installed at the end of the street because of nuisance dogs will not solve any problems. Dogs do not realize they cannot roam or run at large to a mailbox. Solve this issue for once and for all. Deliver the mail, and take the dog away from its owner if this dog is allowed to run free once more. Do not blame the dog. They are man’s best friend. Even the ones that don’t care about by-laws nor their neighbours. Sincerely, Virginia Charron Dog Owner and Dog Lover

Does Camp City sound better than Kitimat? Dear Sir, Bravo. Bravo. Bravo! Well done, it takes brilliant minds to make brilliant decisions. No time for the five amigos to pat themselves on the back yet. First, have to decide on a name change for our

new community. What about Camp City? Wait, wait, Oviatt City? My favourite is still Camp City, after all the phones have been ringing off the hook, maybe by other camps wanting to

build here. No problem finding the land, lots more to the west of the first one. Amazing what a lot of bull, and throw in a little butt kissing, will get you. Sincerely, Luis Teves

Enbridge applying Michigan lessons to Gateway Cameron Orr The spill at the Kalamazoo River in Michigan gave Enbridge some hard lessons on spill prevention and detection. Those lessons are being reflected in their plans for the proposed Northern Gateway Pipelines project To get further explanation of the means they plan to use, beyond the answers the company provided to Kitimat Council after a resolution passed last Monday, the Sentinel was connected with Barrey Callele, director of pipeline control systems and leak detection. Callele overviewed the technologies they will use and others that the company is testing. Callele said that one of the main systems is called SCADA, which is essentially an operator monitoring data such as pipe pressure and flow rates. Along with that, a computational pipeline monitoring system is a computerised version of the SCADA, which, said Callele, might pick up issues an operator might miss. Other techniques include scheduled line balancing, which is simply reviewing how much product reaches the end of the pipe versus how much gets put in. “That’s scheduled over a longer period than what an operator might be think-

ing about,” he said, noting it would be, for instance, over a 24 hour period. Enbridge also would have aerial flybys along the pipeline route every two weeks or so, and a scheduled “acoustic in-line inspection.” That acoustic inspection is a direct result of the oil spill in Michigan. “That’s a good example of a learning since Marshall,” of the technique. He notes that it has to be scheduled, meaning it’s not a system that will detect real-time problems, but the devices used are sensitive enough to detect spills of about a bucket in size, he said. The technology, he said, is suited to find small-scale leaks that may otherwise not be noticed. A so-far untested method that the company is looking into would use fibre optic cables to detect leaks. One fibre optic method is one which listens to a pipelines noise signature to detct problems. A testing apparatus is being constructed in Edmonton, he said, to learn whether the system works as well as advertised. Another fibre optic system would use temperature gauges to sense leaks. Asked what systems would be used at crucial river crossings, Callele said

Enbridge says it’s learned after its Michigan leak. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that firstly the pipeline would either run on a bridge above a river or dug far below the river bed, and the pipe itself would be constructed thicker at those portions. Pressure sensors at either side of the river crossing would provide the monitoring to know if anything was coming out. “We’d be a few seconds away from understanding there was a rupture occurring,” he said. Such a system would detect larger cracks however, and not small, pin-hole type holes. He said he’s not entirely sure a fibre

optic system would be run for the entire length of the pipeline, but the company is not at a stage yet to decide that.

The detail and scope of our application is matched only by our determination to do it right. WRITTEN BY JANET HOLDER

Janet Holder Janet Holder is a proud Britsh Columbian and the senior executive responsible for the Northern Gateway

Project. Janet lives and works in Prince George.

After a decade of careful planning, our application is now before the regulatory authorities. But that doesn’t mean we are finished in making the case for Northern Gateway to British Columbians and all Canadians. The Northern Gateway Project Joint Review Panel (JRP) deadline for Final Argument has come and gone, and we believe we made the best case for an energy pipeline application ever in Canada’s history. Critical questions, affirmative answers. It all boils down to two questions the JRP must address in their report to the Governorin-Council. One is whether Gateway is in the Canadian public interest, and the second

Joint Review Process. BY THE NUMBERS

Our application to the National Energy Board (NEB) was one of the largest and most comprehensive submissions ever presented in Canada.

Participants is the Project’s likelihood of causing significant adverse environmental impacts. The answers are clear. Gateway is urgently needed, meets all requirements for approval under the National Energy Board Act and is definitely in Canada’s interest. Given the commitments and safety measures we have proposed, the Project is not likely to cause significant adverse effects on the environment. Backed by independent experts in their fields. Northern Gateway’s written and oral JPR evidence was prepared and presented by many of Canada’s and the world’s foremost experts on the related subjects. Each had thorough knowledge of the Project and the relevant scientific and engineering studies completed in support of the Project. Their evidence in favour of Gateway was comprehensive, conclusive and compelling. Unprecedented in scope, detail and potential. Our application was defended by answering thousands of Information Requests and presenting a series of nine witness panels. Together with our partners, we will have spent approximately $500 million on this Project, before receiving approval, including environmental assessments, traditional land use studies, detailed engineering and consultation with communities and First Nations—all over the course of a decade.

Our application details the enormous value of connecting Canadian resources to markets that need those resources for their own economic and social development. We are completely confident that Gateway can be designed, constructed and operated in a safe and responsible manner— first and foremost. Flowing from this, there are the enormous benefits in terms of jobs and dollars to support schools, hospitals and social programs that define this country and this province.

May’s crime stats released

Cameron Orr With May’s crime stats released at last week’s Kitimat Council meeting, vehicle thefts up to now in 2013 have overtaken all of 2012’s total. Three vehicle thefts in May this year brought the total for the year to 15, beating by one the number recorded in 2012. That comes even as Staff Sergeant Phil Harrison notes good news in the detachment, namely that he has two replacement officers expected to join their office in July, far earlier than he had anticipated.

3813.13.MMW.2C.indd 1

Meanwhile, there was one sexual assault file opened in June, totalling six for the year, versus 12 for all of 2012. There were no aggravated assaults in May, with the total sitting at two for the year. There was one in 2012. There were nine threats against a person files, bringing it up to 46 for the month. For the same month last year there were three, and a yearly total of 53 in 2012. There were two residential break and enters, bringing this year’s to 20, ten shy of 2012’s 30.

Kitimat Legion branch opening door for potential new members (and you don’t even need to be a veteran) Cameron Orr There’s as much new with the Kitimat branch (#250) of the Royal Canadian Legion as is old. Their building is a Pan-Abode structure, just barely visible from motorists passing by on Haisla Boulevard. It’s an old building in Kitimat, and an even older group. This Legion branch, 250, according to one of the Legion’s directors Bill Whitty, is Kitimat’s oldest club. The general public no doubts sees the group most visibly on Remembrance Day. Certainly it’s what the Legion stands for, in remembrance of people who have served in the armed forces and to serve those veterans. Yet what began as a group to connect veterans is no longer the exclusive domain it once was. The Legion, if it had one message it could share with the public, is they’d like you to join their ranks, and anyone may apply. To join their club you just have to be Canadian, and over 19. Even just stopping by to support their facility requires no connection. Simply sign your name in their ledger — a requirement for their liquor licence — and you’re all set. The local branch is looking to grow with the times and renew its membership. In addition to having their bar open seven days a week, they hold events such as a karaoke night on the second and fourth Saturday of the month.

The Legion in Kitimat provides up to $10,000 a year for local groups. A regular meat draw also seeks to draw in patrons. Bar manager Deborah Veenboer said she’s really pushing for more entertainment at their hall to help bring people in. Whitty says he hopes people will take advantage of joining the Legion as a member, and not just a user, for the benefits of supporting a local good cause. The Legion, he said, supports a number of community groups each year, from the Sea Cadets, to the Hospice Society, Relay for Life and the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program, among many others, including minor sports. They can hand out up to $10,000 in a year to community groups. That’s one of the reasons keeping the group alive is so important. The number of actual veterans in Kitimat is shrinking — closing in on zero — but to see the Legion disappear would certainly hurt everyone who looks to the organization for support. That’s something to remember as all this week is Legion Week, June 24 to 28.

Airport sees number soar with record breaking May The Northwest Regional Airport continues to be one of the busiest places in the area with 14,203 passengers passing through its doors in May, an increase of more than 1,000 people compared to April’s figure of 13,150. It was also the first time in the airport’s history that it posted a monthly passenger figure of more than 14,000. To the end of May, the passenger count stands at 60,602 passengers, an increase of nearly 15 per cent over the 52,753 posted to the end of May 2012. “And our busiest month of the year, August, has yet to come,” said airport manager Carman Hendry of the increase in traffic this year. An expansion of the airport’s original washrooms, the ones by the arrival area, will make things more convenient for the growing number of passengers using the facility. Hendry expects work to be finished in little over a month. “Washrooms are the single largest issue in any customer satisfaction survey,” he added. “Cleanliness, size and convenience are what’s important.”

The airport is also looking forward to Telus beefing up cell service and is also looking at ways to speed up its WIFI service. The passenger count has been steadily increasing, following the improving economic fortunes of the city and area. As an indication of the growth, Air Canada Jazz begins a fifth flight weekdays starting in July and Hawkair through partner company Central Mountain is now into its third week of Terrace to Calgary service via Prince George. And, on occasion, Air Canada passengers may have the benefit of flying in a 50-passenger Bombardier-made jet instead of a Dash 8. One such jet was pressed into service on the Terrace to Vancouver run several times two weekends ago. The jets “are usually scheduled on other routes, but every day, aircraft can be substituted for any number of reasons from mechanical delays to weather delays where the aircraft is coming in from another location, etc.” said Air Canada’s Angela Mah.

Another recent growth factor is carrier Hawkair landing a charter contract with Bechtel, the main company working on the Rio Tinto Alcan aluminum smelter rebuild project in Kitimat. A Hawkair Dash 8 is making trips each Saturday and Sunday ferrying workers to and from Vancouver. Hawkair general manager Rod Hayward said the charter provides Bechtel with the comfort that it can get its workers back and forth when needed. “This schedule was designed to meet their needs. We’ve sold the whole plane to them,” he said. These flight numbers will be recorded separately. Airport officials cite BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line, the construction of the Red Chris copper and gold mine, continuing work on the rebuilding of Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat aluminum smelter and the prospect of natural gas pipelines and accompanying liquefied natural gas plants as reasons for the increase. The Forrest Kerr run-of-river project on the Iskut river is another attraction.

April 17, 1930 - June 3, 2013

James (Jim) Ormiston Bisset

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James Ormiston Bisset. James passed away peacefully in the early hours of June 3, 2013 with his family by his side. Predeceased by his son Danny and daughters-inlaw Terry (Lee) and Donna (Larry); Jim is survived by his wife of 60 years, Jane, sons Lee and Larry; granddaughters Jamie and Robyn; sisters Margaret (Rob) Wardrop, Rita Jeffrey, brother Danny (Peggy) and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Jim was followed in passing by his sister Norma (Bill) Grieve a few hours later in their hometown in Scotland. Jim and Jane moved from Scotland to Canada in 1953, two weeks after being married. He spent most of his life living in Kitimat, BC and moved to Coldstream in 1984. As a trained carpenter, Jim’s philosophy was “If you were making it out of wood, you can do anything” much to the dismay of husbands of the women in Jim’s life. There was never a project that could not be tackled and Jim (Mr. B to most) was always in the midst of it all. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made in Jim’s name to the McMurtry Baerg Cancer Center located in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

Obituaries

Emmi Lechner February 28, 1929 to June 9, 2013

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Emmi Lechner, known to many as “Oma”. Emmi was born in Wernstein, Austria on February 28, 1929. On June 9, after fighting a short but courageous battle with cancer, Emmi passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home with family by her side. Emmi is survived by her beloved husband of 63 years Louis, sister Mitzi in Austria, children Emi (Bill), Ron (Jenny), Gord (Caroline), grandchildren Travis (Kaylee), Angela (Graham), Calvin (Chantelle), Darien, Morgan, Linden and great grandchild Addison. Emmi leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness, especially for her children, grandchildren and great grandchild. Anyone that has ever crossed paths with her knows of her generosity, humour and good spirit. We would especially like to thank the Kitimat Health Support nurses Gloria, Elaine and Lennea and the ladies of the home support group, for their dedication in ensuring that Oma’s final days were spent in comfort and dignity. A memorial service for the celebration of her life will be held on July 3 at 1:30pm at Christ the King Parish in Kitimat. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

In Memoriam

Terry Madeleine Bisset (Adams)

December 1, 1955 - October 17, 2012 It is with great sadness that we mark the one year anniversary since Terry Madeleine Bisset left us. Terry passed away peacefully in the early hours of October 17, 2012 with her family by her side. Predeceased by her parents Jim and Giselle Adams, sister Judy Hughes and nephew Tanner Valouch, Terry is survived by her highschool sweetheart and husband of 37 years Lee and her two daughters Jamie and Robyn. Terry also leaves behind her sisters Joanne (Barry) Longworth, Louise (Derek) Nell, Nancy (Mel Cave) Valouch, brothers-in-law Larry Bisset and Kirk Hughes, In-laws Jim and Jane Bisset and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. After a January cancer diagnosis, Terry vowed to live every last second to the fullest. With a f**k cancer attitude, she wasn’t going to let the diagnosis slow her down and it didn’t. From sewing classes to wine tours, as well as quick trips across border to shop, she did it all full force. Terry’s strong will and positive attitude stayed with her until the very end.

Prominent local artist moving on Sue Jay and Louise Avery Kitimat bids a fond farewell to popular local artist and Kitimat arts champion Eileen Hutson who is moving with husband Bill to Fraser Lake. Since arriving in Kitimat in 1980 with Bill, Eileen has been a very active leader in the visual arts community. As a founding member in the Kitimat Art Club, she became involved in annual painting workshops and worked diligently with the club as member, planner, treasurer, and president. The Kitimat Arts Council was built on Eileen’s energy and hosted Northwest Juried Art shows in 1993 and 1994. At the Kitimat Museum & Archives, Eileen’s energy and enthusiasm was there as a member of the Museum Board, with the installation of the annual regional art shows, and to participate with her art. The Museum hosted two of Eileen’s art exhibitions — the first called “Experienced Freak” with her gifted daughter Erin in the Fall of 2002 and the second, “Scraps & Scribbles” in the Winter 2009-2010. Eileen will be remembered most around here for her constant force and enthusiasm in sharing her talents to teach others. Over 20 years she has been a Visual Arts Instructor for both the Kitimat Museum & Archives and Riverlodge. Programs facilitated by Eileen have inspired the lives of so many beginning artists, both young and old. Thousands of Kitimat students will remember their own experiences with the lessons Eileen taught through Museum in the Classroom Art Workshops since 1998. Eileen would come into the classroom and, thanks to her adaptable teaching skills, could engage students in

trying new media and achieving personal success in art. Because the themes and techniques each year were so varied, they presented new challenges and experiences at all levels. What a special moment of glory it was for those who rarely received recognition for their academic efforts to shine when their classroom masterpieces were completed, and hidden, creative and artistic talents were revealed. Every year these masterpieces were exhibited in the schools, at City Centre Mall and in the Museum to be enjoyed by the whole community. The legacy that Eileen leaves behind can be seen as massive mural projects some of which can be seen at Kildala, Roy Wilcox, and Nechako Elementary schools, in the lounge at Mountain View Lodge and in the many stored props from her involvement with On Cue Players, Dry Grad, and various theatre productions at MESS. She was also an active volunteer with Kitimat Arts for Youth and led participants in expressing movement through art for Dance Impressions, Kitimat Dance. Eileen was involved in many community organizations including the Baptist Church where she showed leadership, patience and kindness in supporting and helping others. The community will feel a great loss with Eileen’s departure from Kitimat. She leaves knowing that she accomplished so much by sharing her creative passion and inspiring so many. All the groups for which she has been affiliated have honoured her these last few weeks and have wished her continuing success in her new community of Fraser Lake. She will be forever thanked for the colourful footprint she leaves behind in Kitimat.

Cameron Orr In a letter to the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, Greg Weeres with Pacific Northern Gas outlines the planned timeline for the PNG Pipeline Looping Project. The project is planned to deliver natural gas from near Summit Lake to the planned BC LNG Co-Op liquefaction facility at Kitimat. It’s a small-scale project compared to other projects in the area, and is expected to reduce the gas transportation costs to existing PNG customers. Pre-construction activities, writes Weeres, will begin in June this year, and continue through 2015. Construction is expected in 2016, continuing to 2017. It would be a 525 km, 24-inch gas pipeline and run adjacent to the existing PNG gas transmission line.
